Intended Use
The Pajunk EpiSpin anesthesia conduction kit is indicated for administration of regional Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) anesthesia. The anesthesia conduction needle is intended for insertion into the spinal and epidural space, as well as catheter placement into the epidural space to facilitate a longer anesthetic effect. After the anesthesia conduction needle has been withdrawn from the patient, the cather tip can remain in the epidural space for as long as determined by the professional anesthetist and the instructions for use (up to 72 hours).
Device Description
Pajunk's EpiSpin set is a single use, sterile, non-pyrogenic and latex free medical device kit. It is a Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE) anesthesia kit consisting of two needles, one for insertion into the epidural space (a specialized Tuohy Cannula) and one for insertion into the spinal space (a Sprotte Cannula). This needle through-needle technology is accomplished using an aperture in the curved tip of the specialized Tuohy Cannula (called the "backeye"), for advancement of the Sprotte Cannula into the spinal space. The Spinal needle does not bend at all, but passes easily thru the Tuohy needle. There is no significant friction of metal against metal involved at all.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the mechanical components and intended use of a needle kit for anesthesia, with no mention of software, algorithms, or data processing that would indicate AI/ML.

No
The device is used for the administration of anesthesia, not for therapeutic treatment.

No

The device is described as an anesthesia conduction kit used for administering regional combined spinal epidural (CSE) anesthesia. Its function is to facilitate the delivery of anesthetic agents, not to diagnose a condition or disease.

No

The device description clearly outlines a physical kit containing needles and cannulas, which are hardware components, not software.

Based on the provided information, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).

Here's why:

  • IVD Definition: In vitro diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. They are used to examine specimens outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Pajunk EpiSpin anesthesia conduction kit is a medical device used for administering regional anesthesia directly into the patient's body (spinal and epidural spaces). It is a tool for delivering a substance and placing a catheter, not for analyzing a biological sample.

The description clearly indicates the device's purpose is for a medical procedure performed on the patient, not for analyzing a sample from the patient.

Intended Use / Indications for Use

The Pajunk EpiSpin anesthesia conduction kit is indicated for administration of regional Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) anesthesia. The anesthesia conduction needle is intended for Combined Spinal Epidural (CSE) and epidural space, as well as catheter placement into the epidural space to facilitate a longer anesthetic effect.

After the anesthesia conduction needle has been withdrawn from the patient, the cather tip can remain in the epidural space for as long as determined by the professional anesthetist and the instructions for use (up to 72 hours).

The Pajunk Loss of Resistance (LOR)-Syringe is intended for use in conjunction with an epidural needle, to verify the needle tip placement in the epidural space by the Loss of Resistance technique as explained in standard medical textbooks. These syringes are not intended for injection or aspiration.

The Pajunk Fixolong is an adhesive disk with catheter clips and flat filter attachment point on top. It is employed for fixing the catheter during long term anesthesia conduction. The adhesive is hypo-allergenic and prevents accidental removal of epidural catheter. The catheter fastening clips allows stabilization of epidural catheter and prevents accidental movement. On the top there is an attachment site for flat filter to protect fixation.

The Pajunk anesthesia conduction flat filter is a microporous filter used while administering to a patient injections of local anesthetics to minimize particulate (foreign material) contamination of the injected fluid.

The Pajunk Tuohy Borst Adaptor is connected to the needle via Luer connector. It ensures connection of a Luer Lock syringe or infusion device.

The Pajunk catheter is placed in the epidural space to facilitate a longer anesthetic effect. After the anesthesia conduction needle has been withdrawn from the patient, the catheter tip can remain in the epidural space for as long as determined by the professional anesthetist and the instructions for use (up to 72 hours).

Device Description:

Pajunk's EpiSpin set is a single use, sterile, non-pyrogenic and latex free medical device kit. It is a Combined Spinal-Epidural (CSE) anesthesia kit consisting of two needles, one for insertion into the epidural space (a specialized Tuohy Cannula) and one for insertion into the spinal space (a Sprotte Cannula). This needle through-needle technology is accomplished using an aperture in the curved tip of the specialized Tuohy Cannula (called the "backeye"), for advancement of the Sprotte Cannula into the spinal space. The Spinal needle does not bend at all, but passes easily thru the Tuohy needle. There is no significant friction of metal against metal involved at all.

Predicate Devices:

The devices we claim substantial equivalence with are Pajunks Stimulong Plus Plexus Catheter cleared under K043130, K033018, Pajunks Plexolong Sets cleared under K042979, K023218, K013041 for the whole Kit and cleared kit components and BBrauns Espocan K932400 (including BBrauns Perifix K813186) especially for the Kit components Tuohy Back-Eye and the LOR-Syringe as well as the intended use of the whole Kit.

The detailed discussion of substantial eqivalence can be found in Section 12 of this submission.

Sterilization

The contract sterilizer and the sterilizing process other than a company name change (was IBA Griffith Micro Science, and now is Sterigenics) is the same as that used for anesth esia conduction cannulae cleared for market by FDA under 510(k) number K040965 and Kit Products Pajunks Stimulong Plus Plexus Catheter K043130, K033018 Pajunks Plexolong Sets K1042879, K023218, K013041.

Technology Characteristics:

The EpiSpin kit provides needle-through-needle technology, employing the use of a Tuohy Cannula featuring a backeye, through which a Sprotte Cannula can be inserted in the spinal space for immediate administration of spinal anesthesia. The Sprotte Cannula is then removed, and the epidural catheter is then placed for prolonged (up to 72 hours) administration of epidural anesthesia. Safety is optimized by the use of the catheters fixation adapter, Tuohy-Borst adapter, flat filter, Fixolong catheter fixation device, and optional Introducer Aid provided in the kit.

Conclusion:

The comparison between the predicate devices and the proposed devices in section 12 of this submission demonstrates that the proposed devices are safe and effective, as well as substantially equivalent to the predicate devices.
